Thanks Scott - glad you are happy with her - I expect she will turn out to be quite pretty.
We proposed the name 'gingerbeer' for caramel rootbeers here this spring when we produced them for the first time - I think it is going to fit very well with how they look at maturity.
I am a huge fan of emoryi/corns - love the added size and vigor that emoryi seems to impart and the difference in color that emoryi gives to the corn morphs has been quite stunning. I love the variety we have seen in cinnamons and we are watching the 'blood-orange' and 'blood-root' babies from this year closely - seem to be coloring up quite nicely so far - have to get some pictures now that they have a bit more size on them.
I am possibly planning some ultracremes for 2008 - so it will be interesting to see how the ultra works with emoryi influence. Most of what I have seen and read so far leads me to believe that there is grey ratsnake influence in those lines. My ultramel (het car) male is lined up with a 50% emoryi rootbeer female - and perhaps to a lower percentage creamsicle girl as well - bonus that she is also het caramel, so maybe some of the emoryi/corn version of golddusts from that one.
